  • It might be this one. "Thanks to the University of Wisconsin, the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica has 86 cables that reach beneath the ice, supporting 60 digital optical modules that relay data from the depths to the surface above. And that surface is a long ways away. The modules hang at depths starting at 4,750 feet all the way down to over 8,000 feet, or 1.5 miles. It took seven years to drill holes for the cables, done in the Southern Hemisphere's summer and with a 25,000-pound hot water hose that melted roughly 200,000 gallons of water per hole." 12/14/24

      the next question was the biggest man made lake in the southern hemisphere. Thanks for your reply I was thinking the superpit in WA as the biggest hole?

      WA as in western Australia? Could be, here's another for consideration; Chuquicamata copper mine, situated 1,650km north of Santiago, Chile, is the second deepest open-pit mine in the world. Chuquicamata, also known as the Chuqui open pit, is 4.3km long, three kilometers wide and more than 850m deep.
